Adventures in Deep-Sea Exploration

Featuring underwater explorer Dr. Robert D. Ballard

Best known for his 1985 discovery of the R.M.S. Titanic, National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence and Institute for Exploration President Dr. Robert Ballard is a veteran of more than 150 deep-sea expeditions, many in search of lost ships and ancient artifacts. In this visually-gripping presentation, Dr. Ballard shares his stories of discoveries, his passion for the last great uncharted territory and his vision of how technology can continue to advance the frontiers of exploration. Dr. Ballard will sign copies of his book after the program.
